Even if the little devil fled into the mountains, the artillery of the security regiment still did not stop shelling.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The little devils blown up by the shells scurried around, leaving dozens of corpses of devils in the mountains.

When the little devil was completely out of sight, the artillery of the security regiment stopped the shelling.

Li Hong held a telescope and kept looking for Shunji Ikeda in a suit, but he didn't find the other party.

As the head of the secret service, Shunji Ikeda is so cunning. He changed into the clothes of the devil soldiers and blended in with the devil soldiers, just to reduce the target.

By this time, Shunji Ikeda had fled into the mountains with the fleeing soldiers.

As the battle drew to a close, the surrounding guns thinned out.

The soldiers of the security regiment rushed out of the trenches and ran to the mountain road to clean up the battlefield.

Li Hong put down the rifle in his hand, and then, the system prompt sounded continuously.

System Prompt: Congratulations, the host killed a Japanese major general officer, rewarded three German heavy Tiger tanks, increased luck by 100 points, rewarded with 250 experience points, and rewarded with 250 merit points.

System Prompt: Congratulations, the host killed a Japanese officer, rewarded two 75mm multiple rocket launchers, 20 boxes of shells, increased luck by 50 points, rewarded experience value of 150 points, and rewarded merit value of 150 points.

System prompt: Congratulations, the host killed a Japanese officer in the middle of the army, rewarded with three M2 Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, 30,000 rounds of bullets, 30 points for luck, 100 points for experience, and 100 points for merit.

System Prompt: Congratulations, the host has received a team bonus, rewarding 6500 XP and 7000 Merit Points.

This wave of systems exploded a lot of good things, especially several heavy Tiger tanks.

This Tiger tank is known as the "Tiger" tank on the ground battlefield, and it is the best tank of World War II, and there is absolutely no one.

After the security regiment cleaned up the battlefield, the rest of the Third Army also ended the fighting.

This ambush battle on Guanmadao can be described as a great victory, and one of the devil's brigades was almost completely annihilated.

In this battle, the security regiment suffered more than 300 casualties, the 103rd Division of the 47th Army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, the 47th Army's 85th Division and the 221st Brigade suffered more than 500 casualties, and the 113th Division of the 51st Army suffered more than 700 casualties.

As soon as the news of the victory in Guanmadao spread, it shocked the entire Fifth War Zone, and the morale of the military and civilians in the Xuzhou area was greatly boosted.

The disability of a Japanese brigade at the cost of more than 2,500 casualties is unique in a war zone.

This ambush battle was fought by the Third Army, but Yu Changsheng did not take the merit alone, and he attributed the highest credit for this battle to Li Hong's security regiment.

What is even more surprising is that this beautiful ambush battle was not commanded by Yu Changsheng, commander of the Third Theater, from formulating the ambush plan to directing the operation, it was all Li Hong's own battle plan.

Several commanders in the theater did not know about Li Hong's ambush plan, and the theater sent telegrams asking why Li Hong had let the Japanese troops pass through Beigu Town.

Now the commanders of the theater finally know that Li Hong pretended to surrender to the enemy, and the purpose was to lure the enemy into the trap and then encircle and annihilate him.

Through the Guanmadao ambush, more officers and generals in the Fifth War Zone also noticed Li Honghe and the security regiment.

Li Hong's outstanding command ability is obvious to all in the Fifth Theater, and several theater commanders have attached great importance to Li Hong.

……

A week later.

Xuzhou City Camp Military Administration Building, Fifth Theater General Headquarters.

At this time, Li Zongyao, commander-in-chief of the theater of operations, and Bai Wenqing, deputy commander, were discussing and studying Li Hong in the war room.

"Brother Zong Yao, it seems that we all underestimated Li Hong and the strength of the security group before."

"Guan Ma Dao ambush battle, Li Hong's division and encirclement tactics are very ingenious, this battle is similar to the Pingxing Guan Dajie tactics, this Li Hong don't look young, but his strategy is not under Bai someone." Bai Wenqing suggested to Li Zongyao, commander-in-chief of the theater.

Bai Wenqing is known as Xiao Zhuge , resourceful, full of strategy and strategic vision, he is one of the most powerful senior generals among all the generals.

Bai Wenqing is not a casual boaster, and it is rare for an officer to be so appreciated and evaluated by him.

"Brother Wen Qing, you have a high opinion of this Li Hong, you are Xiao Zhuge , can this Li Hong's strategy be compared with you!" Li Zongyao nodded slightly, and he also affirmed Li Hong's ability.

Bai Wenqing continued to analyze Li Hong: "This Li Hong is really not simple, first deceived the Japanese, then tricked the enemy into the urn into the pocket formation, and finally annihilated the enemy one by one, this trick is very ingenious!" ”

When Li Zongyao heard Bai Wenqing's analysis, he also felt that Li Hong's military talent should not be underestimated.

Bai Wenqing not only has a unique vision on the battlefield, but his vision of seeing people is also particularly "poisonous", and he will definitely not let go of a talent like Li Hong.

In fact, the entire Fifth Theater is a patchwork of local miscellaneous troops, and there are not many elite troops at all, and there are only a handful of officers and generals who are rich in strategic command ability.

Li Zongyao and Bai Wenqing talked about studying Li Hong for a while, and talked about the current military situation and war.

Since the beginning of this month, the surrounding areas of Xuzhou have begun to become tense, and large Japanese forces have attacked from the north and south at the same time.

The Japanese army attacked from the southern section of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and has now broken through the defense line south of the Huai River.

The Japanese army attacking from the north road, because Han Fuyu, chairman of Shandong Province, led an army of 100,000 troops to retreat without a fight, causing the Japanese invading army to drive straight into and occupy most of Shandong.

The speed of the Japanese attack was particularly fast, and in less than half a month, several large armies of the Japanese army approached Nanguan County, Teng County, and Linfen.

The above counties are all important gateway barriers in Xuzhou, especially Nanguan County and Teng County.

The north of Nanguan County is only less than 150 kilometers away from Xuzhou, adjacent to the Tianjin-Shanghai railway, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and now it has become a strategic place for the Japanese army and the squadron to compete.

Two days ago, the Fifth Theater had urgently dispatched the 22nd Group Army to Tengxian County to block the Japanese troops moving south.

Guarding Teng County was the Sichuan Army, the commander-in-chief was Deng Xihou at the beginning, under the jurisdiction of two armies, the 41st Army, and the 45th Army.

Teng County's defense Zong Yao and Bai Wenqing were not worried, because they had already deployed troops to defend, and the main concern was Nanguan County.

The strength of the guards in Nanguan County was only one of the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army, with a total strength of less than 15,000 people.

The establishment of the second-class troops of the Sichuan Army is different from that of the Central Army, with only two divisions in each army, and the personnel establishment of each division is incomplete.

The weapons and equipment of the Sichuan army are very outdated, and the main weapons are Sichuan-made 79 rifles, broadswords, grenades, and a small number of home-made light and heavy machine guns and mortars.

Using such an incomplete and poorly armed army to defend such an important county town is also a helpless defensive strategy for the commanders of the theater.
